it's never getting a movie now is it
>>206064973if you want I can throw one together
It's getting a movie and it's going to be written by John Logan and directed by John hillcoat. Two people who havent done anything worthwhile in their careers. It's going to be shit calling it now
>>206064973They should make it a screwball comedy.
>>206065361This. When I saw Hillcoat as the director I was immediately checked out. Seems like the studio has had the rights for a while and just want to get it out of the way. I’m not of the opinion that it can’t be filmed/is unadaptable though. Who’s your ideal director for the project? >>206065011
>>206065535PTA could have done it in 2007, but he's spent now. I doubt he has the spiritual drive or intellectual intensity to bring it home now. Also, he probably feels like he already made it, hard to improve on There Will Be Blood.
>>206064973Can somebody give me a qrd on what's so bad that it's considered "unadaptable"I can't stand listening to Wendigoon talk and no I'm not reading the damn book
And that and book and is and unreadable and and and and
>white people are... le bad!>manifest destiny is... le bad!>capitalism is... le bad!>le second amendment is... le bad!I'm glad it's never getting made. It's pozzed leftist trash, like all of McCarthy's work.
>>206069098Why dont you like wendigoon? He is the best youtuber out there. His iceberg videos are great
>>206069098its about indian scalp hunters and accurately portrays indians as killer savages and has scenes where children are raped and babies are bashed on rocks. it could be made people are just retarded. it would be kind of hard to convey the tone of the book on film tho imo
>>206064973>nownot now, not evernothing close to the book, anywayno one who read the book will ever see a movie and say, :"Wow, that's just how I envisioned it!'
>>206069154>filtered by biblical prosengmi
>>206064973There's one under production
>>206069220literally one of the 10 best writers of the last 100 yearsyou don't have to like what you read, but you must bow down before his command of the form
>>206069256Gotcha. So it's not the content that's "unadaptable", just the culture wouldn't let it fly
>>206069265thismccarthy literally said blood meridian was a book made of books. its basically just mccarthy compiling all the things he loved throughout the western canon and fitting them into a real setting that he also loved (he named his one kids after one of the guys in My Confession, the real memoir that inspired bl;ood meridian)
>>206069220>has never created any meaningful art or literature in his whole life. Has never created anything of value at all, even. You give yourself away pleb.
>>206069248Annoying monotone voice, reads Wikipedia articles, was one of the only real libertarian (not neocon fakes) gun guys on YouTube but immediately pussied out and backtracked once a few people online called him an extremistPlays it very safe with the "I've got friends on both sides, it's unfair to say that the government was all bad" on his Waco/Ruby Ridge videosHis refusal to swear or use bad wordsAnd frankly his accent just pisses me off to no end. I swear he purposely mispronounces words sometimes during creepcast and his own videos
>>206069423yea pretty much. it cant be made now because of woke moralfags and couldnt have been made in the past because of christian moralfags so whatever
>>206069576He doesn't have an accent.
Yall read the new article about his 16 yo gf from back in the day? It's a good read.https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/cormac-mccarthy-secret-muse-exclusive?srsltid=AfmBOorcUuMXr6682e4kxPNFDnbG3rxFcqjENqkLDmpfu3oVJgVEV8OJ

>>206065535I would like to see Robert eggers try it since hes the most authentic director when It comes to history.
>>206070381Egg is a good choice. Him or the Coen bro's would be solid as they already successfully adapted NCFOM.
>>206070381>>206065535>Who’s your ideal director for the project? Martin McDonagh, Banshees showed he can handle political/religious subtext & allegory to the degree required by the source material (and beautiful landscape shots). Eggers co-writing on the script/second unit director.>>206069098>Can somebody give me a qrd on what's so bad that it's considered "unadaptable"The Apache were displaced by the Comanche horse hordes into Mexico, whereupon they themselves were as barbaric against the Mexicans and vice versa-- it goes against ahistorical "muh colonizers" boilerplate agitprop and it's highly likely producers and writers involved are incapable of nuance or 'strategic empathy' required to make it properly tragic per picrel. And over-age casting The Kid is no bueno.
>>206070913Moreover per picrel it should be strongly intimated that The Kid puts the girl - who lost her dancing bear source of income - out of her misery before she's turned into a prostitute; The Kid icing the guy behind the bar who mistook him for a boy hooker out on the coast, then the Bone Collector Punk out on the plains just before are more suggestive with this reading.
>>206069423Well there is one nuance. The book describes the cowboy gang doing a lot of bad shit but never says if The Kid, he protagonist, was part of it or sat out. And a big driving force of the book is wondering how corrupted or lost his soul is. Can't do that in a movie where you see if he is there or not.
